We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the Web Graph SIA. The use of the Internet pages of the Web
Graph SIA is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use
special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the
processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally
obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of
a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance
with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Web Graph SIA. By means of this data
protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and
purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means
of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Web Graph SIA has implemented numerous technical and organizational
measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be
guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative
means, e.g. by email.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the Web Graph SIA is based on the terms used by the European
legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and
business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
- Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person
(“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or
indirectly,
in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data,
an
online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic,
mental,
economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
- Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is
processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
- Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on
sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording,
organisation,
structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction,
erasure or destruction.
- Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting
their processing in the future.
- Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of
personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to
analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation,
health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
- Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data
can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information,
provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and
organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or
identifiable natural person.
- Controller or controller responsible for the
processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person,
public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes
and
means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are
determined
by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be
provided
for by Union or Member State law.
- Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which
the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may
receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member
State
law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities
shall
be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the
processing.
- Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the
data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or
processor, are authorised to process personal data.
- Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous
indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative
action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data
protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data
protection is:
Web Graph SIA
Ubelu 5-71
LV-2164 Adazi
Latvia

Email: info@webscraper.io
Website: https://www.webscraper.io/
3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the Web Graph SIA use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a
computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie
ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and
servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited
Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet
browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the
unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Web Graph SIA can provide the users of this website with more
user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in
mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this
recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g.
does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the
website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a
shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the
virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of
a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of
cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Web Graph SIA collects a series of general data and information when a data
subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server
log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the
accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
(4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address
(IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Web Graph SIA does not draw any conclusions
about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website
correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term
viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement
authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore,
the Web Graph SIA analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of
increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of
protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored
separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the
indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the
respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected
and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may
request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an
internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage
of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our
services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of
this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is
a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended
to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to
registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the
personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the
data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as
to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or
erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory
storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this
respect as contact persons.
6. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the Web Graph SIA, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our
enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted,
as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Web Graph SIA informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter
about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the
data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A
confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for
newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to
prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system
assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the
registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in
order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it
therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send
our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is
necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the
case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical
circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third
parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent
to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be
revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each
newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of
the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
7. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the Web Graph SIA contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a
miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and
analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based
on the embedded tracking pixel, the Web Graph SIA may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data
subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and
analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the
content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not
be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate
declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal
data will be deleted by the controller. The Web Graph SIA automatically regards a withdrawal from the
receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the Web Graph SIA contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to
our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the
so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a
contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data
transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of
processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
9. Comments function in the blog on the website
The Web Graph SIA offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog
contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based,
publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post
articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by the
data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the
user's (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security
reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through
a given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the data
controller, so that he can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not
be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of
the data controller.
10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the
period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator
or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European
legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in
accordance with legal requirements.
11. Rights of the data subject
- Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European

- If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the
restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the Web Graph SIA, he or she may at any time
contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the Web Graph SIA will arrange the restriction
of the processing.
- Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator, to receive the
personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly
used
and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google
Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the
anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection,
gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects,
inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages
were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for
the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain
View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat.
_anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is
abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or
another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google
uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide
online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use
of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the
use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is
operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser
on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google
Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google.
During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal
information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the
origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which
the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our
Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject,
will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in
the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure
to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any
time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by
Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are
generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of
this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a
browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on
tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet
pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an
objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted,
or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If
the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their
sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the
browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
13. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as
a payment processor
On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment
service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or
business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not
have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic
account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive
payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24
Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject chooses "PayPal" as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering
process, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment option,
the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address,
IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The
processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the
respective order.
The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller
will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given.
The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the data will be
transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and
creditworthiness checks.
PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or
subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be
processed in the order.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any
time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or
transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
14. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain
consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing
operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on
Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying
out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is
our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the
fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the
processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of
another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and
his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor,
hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing
operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for
the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such
interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which
require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they
have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could
be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
15. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third
party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest
is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
16. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as
it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
17. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement;
Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data;
possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or
can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may
be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must
subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data
when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the
consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided
by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject
whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion
of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of
non-provision of the personal data.
